drlobojo is not a doctor, nor is he a wolf, although he has been called a cur on occasion, nor is he a jo which is Scottish for sweetheart having never been called that to his recollection. He is a pre-Atomic (born before the first bomb blast in New Mexico), a boy off of the Red River of Oklahoma, son of a share cropper, and poor white trash at that.

Hallelujah My F...ing Rollator Has Arrived

My Very Own Bariatric Rollator Walker With Seat 400 lb Capacity For A Tall/Fat Guy

It is a sweetheart of Rollators. Almost the Rolls Royce of Rollators. What, never heard of a Rollator? Me neither. I knew wtf they were and all, you can't sail on a geriatric voyage to anywhere on a cruise ship without encountering all types of them. But Jesus, I didn't think I was ready for one....scratch that, I don't think I am ready for one. But here it is laying spread across my living room floor along with its packaging whispering assemble me. I do not want to thank you. My first mistake was ordering you, no, no, my first mistake was agreeing to using you. The Doctor, my internist/GP said, " You having been falling, you have sustained serious injury from falling, and you've fell again. You have no reflexes in the left knee, ankle, or foot, and only a slight reflex in your right knee. You must be using a walker". (WTF I thought) reading my mind , she said, " That cane you have will not keep you from falling. Why won't you be safe and use a walker. I don't want them carrying you into the emergency room with a concussion or broken hip from a fall that puts you in a bed the rest of your life." Lord the woman is graphic sometimes. "Ego, I suppose," I said, "You know the macho male stuff. Walkers are little old man stuff." She did the pregnant pause thing but I out waited her. "OK," she said, "how about a tripod cane?" Alright, I agreed to do that. She wrote a prescription for a cane all the while telling me how much I need to use a walker. Finally I said something about those walkers you could sit in when you got tired. My problem is just walking but running out of ability to walk........so she writes me a prescription for a rollator before I can protest. Thus the rollator in pieces on my floor. The medical supply people in the city didn't have one to fit my height and weight. So I bought one via Amazon and will apply for a Medicare payment for it. As you know the wife is threaded all through this event as well. So behold a fat tall man's wheeled walker with seat.

rollator allows you to safely walk along or sit on the padded seat if you become tired. Unlike a regular walker, a rollator doesn’t involve the lift that a normal walker requires, making walking a smoother process. A rollator, however, requires the user to be stable enough to not let it get away from them since it has wheels. We have reinforced our basic rollator to accommodate higher weight capacities. Our extra-wide heavy-duty rollator has a wider seat and greater distance between the handles for people that need, or want, extra room. NOTE: This rollator is 29" wide and may not fit through standard door frames found in the home.

The Story Of Everything

THE STORY OF EVERYTHING:"This is what we think we know. It is a work in progress." "We are not the center of the universe, but we are in it and of it...we are perhaps one of matter's way of knowing itself...it is imperfect...for example, currently, "dark energy" is a code word for what we don't know about something we suspect is out there."

When my cats aren't happy, I'm not happy. Not because I care about their mood but because I know they're just sitting there thinking up ways to get even.

About Me

I am a Yellow dog Democrat although I do not trust that type. I am prone to exageration but generally don't lie much. Hardly nothing is none of my business. Been everywhere, done everything, haven't accomplished much of anything. Ex-Military, Ex-Missoinary type, Ex-Educator, Ex-Romantic. I am an old retired fart whoes disposition has been tempered by time, travel, experience, and a good woman of 40 years association.
I love life, but my back and knees hurt. drlobojo was given his name at a Sac and Fox meeting because it had been created and used that same day in ropes course near by. drlobojo is not a doctor, nor is he a wolf, although he has been called a cur on occasion, nor is he a jo which is Scottish for sweetheart having never been called that to his recollection. He is a pre-Atomic (born before the first bomb blast in New Mexico), a boy off of the Red River of Oklahoma, son of a share cropper, and a boll pulling, cotton chopping poor white trash at that.
As for Religion, I have been a Southern Baptist of the pre-1970 kind and a Disciple of Christ member. truthfully today I would best be described as an existential enigmatic christian.
